You're not a true M fan unless you're ultra paranoid. We always seek the little things to nit pick that might portend our doom.
Only we true Michigan fans can watch a 7+ touchdown victory in the opener and conclude "not convincing enough...season's over... Beating ND and tOSU will have to wait til next year."
I think the difference is that in this case, the Garcia kid got *caught* FIVE times.
<br>How many times was he partaking in illicit activities and going unoticed?
<br>Even non-athlete students know there are consequences to getting caught.
<br>Starting QBs should know better: keep your drugs/alcohol out of sight, an away from an automobile (derp)!
<br>
<br>
My recollection might be a bit off, but part of why Cowherd is unpopular around here is due to an incident circa 2006 where he ripped off material from the MZone blog and used it on his show unattributed.
The true beauty of this play for me is that Kovacs executes a textbook
<br>form tackle:
<br>
<br>1) Head on the ball side of the body
<br>
<br>2) Shoulder impacts the center of mass
<br>
<br>3) Arms wrap up the ball carrier
<br>
<br>4) Legs drive through the target
<br>
<br>It's so infuriating when a player has a tackle lined up and decides to
<br>"blow this guy up, brah!" thereby leaving their feet to deliver the BIG
<br>HIT. This usually results in missing a moving target, and the lack of a
<br>wrap-up usually results in the target bouncing off the defender's shoulder
<br>pads and continuing on its merry way.
<br>
<br>After the team's poor display of fundamental bloacking and tackling the
<br>last few years, this Kovacs play is a refreshing display of fundamentals.
<br>
Brian,
<br>
<br>Reading your season preview post has become an annual event I look forward to in a fuzzy curl-up-with-coffee-for-a-fireside-chat way. You encapsulate so much of what the fanbase is feeling so well.
<br>
<br>Don't sweat your "we are ND" moments; when your writing is on, it's really fucking on.
<br>
<br>Thanks for The Story once again. Here's to a great season.
<br>
<br>Go Blue!
The MNC is a beauty contest, a subjective interpretation of "deserving."
<br>
<br>Winning the B1GTEN is (thanks now to a title game) an objective measure of accolades a team deserves.
<br>
<br>Coach Hoke understands that what matters in football is to control the details your team can control, not what Other People think of you.
Yes, it is done.
<br>
<br>Kindly select one of the following:
<br>A) At the least, a cautiously optimistic, if not enthusiastic approach in supporting our new coach, or
<br>B) A different football team for which to cheer
<br>
<br>Either A or B, it matters not to me. I cheer for Michigan, no matter who our coach may be.
<br>
<br>Go Blue!
There is a non-zero chance that the man knows what he is doing and can win football games at Michigan.
<br>
<br>Also, please stop crying. It makes you look like spoiled children.
<br>
<br>TAKE IT LIKE A MAN
... that something seems strange here. JH appears to be on an absolute whirlwind of an interview trail.
<br>
<br>Until he has signed on a line that is dotted, I assume he is flirting with UM, Stanford and each NFL team as leverage, plain and simple.
<br>
<br>Who know's the man's mind, except the man himself?
9 AM? Is that a good time slot, or a bad one?

Why can't you be more convenient for your listeners, like that upstart cousin of yours, podcasting?

Looks good, especially for a first attempt!
If you keep at it, I'm sure you'll get even better as you learn more about the process.
I especially liked the way crushing hits often synched with the staccato of the music.
